Lin Yongqiang drank a glass of wine and smiled bitterly under the breath of alcohol, "I know, if you hadn't helped me, I would not be as good as Lin Jiao. Maybe I would have been hacked to death by those loan sharks."
Gu Jingchuan looked at the two little girls eating at the dinner table and said in a deep voice, "Don't say this in front of the children."
"Why are dad and you the only ones left? We all have our own families?"
"That's right, we all have our own families and relatives, and they are the ones we need to cherish."
Lin Yongqiang touched his daughter Weiwei's head and all the injuries were healed.
After having dinner with Lin Yongqiang's family, Tang Min was filled with emotions.
Gu Jingchuan specially called Gu Jinghui and his father and asked them to take more care of Lin Jinshun. If Lin Jinshun got tired of living in the village, he could be allowed to live in the town.
Gu Decheng and Lin Jinshun are old friends. Twenty years ago, when Lin Jinshun was the only one left in the Lin family, he was the one who brought Lin Jinshun from Shanghe Village to the town and asked him to work in a restaurant. Now he must not be able to do it anymore.
Gu Decheng made a special trip to Lin's house to visit Lin Jinshun.
When Gu Decheng entered the house, Lin Jinshun was lying on the bed sleeping.
At this moment, Gu Decheng looked at Lin Jinshun, and his mind went back to twenty years ago.
At that time, he came to visit Lin Jinshun and he was lying on the bed like this.
The difference is that now he sleeps in a spacious and bright house, and his temples are grayer and older.
Lin Jinshun has changed a lot in the past 20 years. He has changed from a cowardly and ignorant rural uncle like Mulan to an old man who is skilled in cooking, can take care of children, and can get used to life in the city.
Gu Decheng felt that Lin Jinshun was better than him in this regard. He could only stay in the countryside. If he went to the city for at most a month, he would become impatient and feel like he was going to suffer from depression.
Gu Decheng looked at Lin Jinshun curled up on the bed, and his heart ached, feeling particularly uncomfortable.
Sometimes people's fate is really wonderful. Lin Jinshun had already gone to the city and was enjoying his old age at his son's house. They all felt that Lin Jinshun had suffered in the first half of his life and would enjoy happiness in the second half of his life. They didn't expect such a change.
The road of life is always like this, half wide and half narrow.
Lin Jinshun felt someone coming into the room. He turned over and sat up. When he saw Gu Decheng, he smiled and said hello, "My dear, why are you here?"
Gu Decheng said, "I'll come over today at my leisure to see you."
"Please sit down quickly, I'll get us an electric stove to drink tea."
Lin Jinshun got out of bed, arranging the steamed buns and looking for the electric stove.
"Okay, you can wait for us, I'm really thirsty all the way here."
Lin Jinshun served the big steamed buns that he had steamed. Gu Decheng picked up one, took a bite and said with a smile, "My dear, you are such a good cook. You used to be like me and couldn't cook."
When I came to Lin's house for tea 20 years ago, the dry biscuits that Lin Jinshun served to him were all hairy.
"I was forced to come here. In the city, Yongqiang and Meiling work. I have to take care of Weiwei. I will learn to cook whatever my granddaughter wants to eat. Her cooking skills are getting better and better."
"In a flash, we have known each other for 20 years."
Lin Jinshun sighed, "Yes, when Xiao Min married into your family, we were only 50 years old. We were still in our prime at that time. Now we can't do it anymore. We are old and can't do anything."
Gu Decheng said, "Now the children are doing the work, and we are no longer allowed to work to support our families. If we can do it, we will do it. If we can't, we will not do it."
"My dear, if you say that, you can't stop yourself. Apple sales will make a lot of money this year, right?" Lin Jinshun asked with a smile.
"Fortunately, it sold for tens of thousands of yuan."
When Lin Jinshun heard this, his eyes lit up.
It's tens of thousands of dollars.
He drank tea and asked Gu Decheng, "You said I'm planting trees in my own land now, do you still want to go there?"
"Do you want to take back the rented land for planting?" Gu Decheng heard this and looked at him.
Lin Jinshun smiled awkwardly, "Aren't you saying that selling for tens of thousands of yuan a year makes me jealous? If I can earn tens of thousands of yuan a year, then Xiaoyu and I will have enough expenses for the year. Give Yongqiang some relief.
burden."
Gu Decheng was not afraid of attacking him and said truthfully, "This kind of tree is not that easy. Our orchard is an old tree. I grafted a new variety, so it will bear fruit in just two years, and the price is good. You have to plant the tree now."
If we don’t rush there, the result will be four or five years later. Can’t distant water quench our near thirst?”
Lin Jinshun's expression darkened again.
Gu Decheng patted him on the shoulder and said, "I think you should stop thinking about how to make money. Taking good care of your body is better than anything else."
"We all come from poor backgrounds. When we work, we feel happy and our bodies are strong. If you let me sit idle like this, I really can't stand it anymore. My thoughts will wander all day long and I won't be able to eat."
In the past, in the city, he could see the children every day and still have hope. Now that he was left to lie like this alone, he was really afraid that he would become ill and would not be able to take care of Xiaoyu in the future.
"That's true."
Gu Decheng said, "My dear, when you say this, I seem to be thinking of a job. Isn't there a Huaniu apple base in our town? There are people who specialize in contracting large orchards like that. They recruit people who need to look after the gardens for them.
You don’t need to do much work. You usually just walk around in the orchard. I think this job is suitable for you. Do you have any ideas?"
"You don't have to work, what's such a good thing?" Lin Jinshun had never seen an orchard without work.
"Everything from pruning branches, spreading flowers, and spraying pesticides is done by professional people. You just act as a gardener to prevent the normal fruit trees from being damaged. In addition, you have to drive away rabbits, pheasants, etc."
Ever since he heard that Lin Jinshun was going to stay in his hometown to take care of Xiaoyu, Gu Decheng was also concerned about his future life. When he was selling apples two days ago, he heard about Renren who went to visit the orchard. He immediately thought of Lin Jinshun. Today is also the case.
Come over and check on his physical condition and check his tone of voice.
"This life is great. Where is it? Away from the junior high school.
Is it close? Are you not allowed to go home for a month?" Lin Jinshun was very interested. He wanted to do it if there was work.
Gu Decheng replied, "The orchard base in our town is definitely much closer to the school than your home. They also have two days off a month, so it's convenient for you to take care of your children."
"Okay, then help me ask if you think I'm old?" Lin Jinshun was happy but also worried. He is 70 years old and doesn't want anyone looking for a gatekeeper in the city.
Gu Decheng said with a smile, "Aren't all the janitors old men like us? Young people who stay around to look after the janitors don't have high wages."
"Do you think two thousand a month is too little?" he looked at Lin Jinshun and asked.
Lin Jinshun hurriedly replied, "It's quite a lot. It's quite a lot. Xiaoyu and I can't spend two thousand yuan a month." 348
